Chapter 10 (2/2)

1“I have very limited time. Although I have advanced as an Intermediate Mystical Learner, I’m still no match for the two Mystical Warriors. Any of the Mystical Warriors can kill me easily if their Mystical Powers were sufficient.” Xu Yang was not carried away by his sudden increase in power. He picked up the leather pouch on the floor to continue on with his journey.

“D*mn. This is…”

Xu Yang unintentionally gazed at the ground and saw a shocking scene.

There was only a skeleton left in the Fire-Cloud Dojo’s outfit. Hong Xi’s bodily flesh had disappeared. It was really strange.

Xu Yang’s fingers trembled as he looked at it. He could not believe his eyes. He squatted down and tried to feel the changes that had happened on the corpse with his hands.

When Xu Yang’s finger touched the skeleton, it crumbled into ashes.

“The energy in the corpse… even those in the bones were drained thoroughly…” Xu Yang’s heart thumped once and he thought of the tiny pagoda in his Star Ocean.

Mystical Suppressing Pagoda!

“Is it really the Mystical Suppressing Pagoda that had sucked the energy from Hong Xi’s body to heal my injuries?” Xu Yang wondered out loud. “There is no other possibility except this. I am pretty sure that it was the power of the Mystical Suppressing Pagoda.”

“This kind of thing should be studied in the future,” Xu Yang exhaled, as if he had let go of the shock and fear in his heart. “Anyway, the Mystical Suppressing Pagoda has saved my life. It hasn’t shown any disadvantages yet. ”

“It’s time to go full speed ahead and return to Lin Yuan City now!” Xu Yang clenched his fists looking in the direction of Lin Yuan City. His eyes lit up with eagerness.

“I’m coming for you, Lin Yuan City—the center of the golden ages.”

Mystical Energy was activated as Xu Yang started sprinting again using the Running Horse Stance.

The ascetic teams of the Fire-Cloud Dojo were moving forward two hundred miles behind Xu Yang.

Wei Haoshan and Lu Zhuo were protecting the disciples at the front and back of the team, waiting for Xu Yang’s appearance. They were afraid that Xu Yang would appear suddenly and kill the disciples which would disqualify them.

However, Xu Yang did not appear the whole morning. The two people gradually put aside their alertness and started chatting.

“Brother Wei, do you think the kid really ran away last night like what Hong Xi said?” Lu Zhuo asked.

“I think so…” Wei Haoshan said. “The kid has been making a fool out of the three of us. It seems like Hong Xi has taken the opportunity ahead of us to chase after him.”

“It is impossible for an Early Mystical Learner to run faster than Hong Xi.” Lu Zhuo was somehow puzzled. “Hong Xi is a Wind-Extreme Mystical Warrior, he has the fastest speed among us. He should have returned by now.”

Wei Haoshan frowned and said, “You should understand by now what kind of person Hong Xi is, he must’ve caught the kid but he doesn’t want to share the credit with us. He must have gone back to Lin Yuan City with the head of Xu Yang and has complained about us to the Chief.”

“Complain?” Lu Zhuo was shocked. “Why? There are no grudges between us.”

Wei Haoshan hummed, “I think Hong Xi held a grudge in his heart when we refused to chase after the kid last night. He is full of schemes and so petty… Let it go! Let’s carry out our responsibility as a guide and admit our mistakes to the Chief. Hopefully, he won’t cut our pay.”

The group of people moved forward steadily. The gap between them and Xu Yang, who was moving forward swiftly, was getting bigger and bigger.
